Slovenian Roots Quest: Happy Spring! Onion Skin Eggs for Easter and Passover

Welcome! Dobrodošli!

I can't deny it: I'm a late-in-life, born again Slovenka. It is surprising that it took so long, since I grew up in and around Cleveland, which boasts the world's second largest Slovenian population. But aside from our yearly potica-making ritual, my mother never talked much about her ethnic roots, either in America or in the tiny, beautiful Alpine land of Slovenia, once part of Yugoslavia. Her parents were named Kozlevcar and Adamic. My grandmother was a cousin of Louis Adamic, the famous leftist writer from the 1930's and 1940's. And that's all I knew, for most of my life, until my passion for the Cajun accordion brought me back. My first book, Accordion Dreams, came out in 2009. Now I'm on a new journey, and writing another book, exploring my own roots. Looking for answers—and perhaps a few good recipes along the way.
